Illustrazione Di Un Antico Sigillo Della Garfagnana
An 18th-century Italian antiquarian treatise by Giuseppe Garampi, printed in 1759, presumably for scholars of numismatics and engraved gems and seals. Its pictures are small black-and-white woodcut-style engravings of ornaments, an allegorical seated figure, an ancient papal seal, and a decorated initial, showing how dense line hatching builds form and how seal lettering and border ornament can inspire vintage typography and emblem design.
